Default Going crazy!!!!! Please help!!!!

I am looking at getting some new tires. I have spent hours and hours researching on the computer......I'm exhausted! I'm going to write out a hail marry and hopefully I'll get someone to help me decide.....

This is what I have: 2006 F150 Fx4 Scab w/2.5" Daystar Leveling Kit

This is what I want: Some kind of mud tire that has good tread life, plenty of road noise, and a cheap price tag.


I was originally thinking about getting the Mud Grapplers, but then I found out they only have a 30k mile tread life. So then, I thought about getting the Trail Grapplers, which are really nice and look fantastic, and they would be the perfect tire, except I've researched and the majority of the answers were that they don't have much road noise, if any at all. So that completely threw everything off.

What about BFG Mud Terrain KM2? Do they have much road noise?

Someone please help me find the right set of tires. I want something with some noise, and will last a long time, and aren't going to make me go broke, and they also have to fit on my 18" stock rims.... Any help is greatly appreciated, as I am exhausted from staring at my laptop for days/hours.

Goodyear wrangler mt, bfg mt or km2, Firestone destination mt, all have good tread life and road noise. I have personally run about 5 sets of the wrangler mt and could easily get 50k out of them. Had several muddies run the others I mentioned with very similar results. This is rotating and balancing regularly.

Long lasting or cheap. Can't really get both.

Toyo my's are great tires. Little on the pricey side but great tires and worth it to me. Very long lasting, great mud tires and not a whole lot of noise but they look aggressive. The newest 4 wheel drive mag I got rated them the longest lasting out of the top 40 tires. If you are looking for something cheaper. Goodyear wranglers, federal cougars. One you might want to looking and is not as common but I don't know how it would look on your truck... Pitbull crawler tires. Very loud and good in mud. Not sure how long they last. But they are cheaper. Goodluck
